Kattegattleden – Helsingborg – Höganäs

This part of Kattegattleden offers a lovely coastal tour all the way from Helsingborg to Höganäs, with staggering views of Öresund and out to Danish Zealand.
Start in Helsingborg, an urban setting with historic sites like the Kärnan tower and Sofiero Castle and garden, renowned for having over 10,000 rhododendron bushes that bloom throughout the park from May-June. By contrast, you will also discover a modern and continental setting in Norra Hamnen and Gröningen, with areas for swimming and relaxing, and dining with outdoor seating.

The path is lined with picturesque little fishing villages and small marinas, such as Domsten and Viken. Just outside Viken is the Military Defence Museum, the only museum of its kind in Sweden.

The path continues up towards Höganäs and out to the gorgeous, rocky landscape of Kullahalvön. This unique setting has been attracting artists and tourists ready for a swim for centuries.
On the furthest tip of Kullahalvön is the Kullaberg Nature Reserve. If you have time for a detour from the path, it’s well worth a visit, or even an overnight stay in Mölle. The area offers a variety of activities, such as hiking and rock climbing on cliffs with peaks soaring up to 187 metres above the ocean.

Farm shops and tasty food are distinguishing features around Höganäs, as farming is an important part of this region. Some of Skåne’s finest vineyards are also located here. A visit to the market is a must in Höganäs: shop for local produce and products, or enjoy a plate of early vegetables.
